The Changing Face of Philanthropy- Donation to a Cause Now Has Its Benefits

Online, November 22, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Australia has long been a place of generosity and this has not changed despite the hard economic times. We still believe in a "fair go" for all and this is reflected in our support of those around the world who are less fortunate than ourselves. This is supported by the fact that nearly three quarters of the population give monetarily to support charitable organisations. This has become easier, with the rise of sites such as AusCause.

About AusCause

It developed an online portal in 2011 to assist in the delivery of services to the Australian community who were looking for bargains, whilst still desiring a premium unique online shopping experience, with the added benefit of being able to donate to a worthy cause at the same time. It empowers people to give to the charity of their choice, by adding the benefits of special product offers and online shopping discounts.

People have the choice to select from the causes listed on the site or add their own deserving cause. These can range from a local cause to an international aid agency. Those not wishing to donate can choose to receive a cash refund. These amounts are listed against each merchant, as either a percentage of the sale or a fixed amount depending on the merchant.

The company was created in 2009 through an innovative idea that online shopping and donations to charities could be combined to benefit consumers, retailers and causes alike.
